The "Get Him to the Greek" star has courted political controversy in the past - He was fired from his on-air hosting job at MTV UK after he showed up at work dressed as Osama bin Laden on September 12, 2001.

Brand is rapidly becoming a household name in the U.S., thanks to his relationship with Perry and roles in high profile comedies like "Forgetting Sarah Marshall" and the remake of the classic Dudley Moore film "Arthur."

FX, meanwhile, has become known as a network that will roll the dice on edgy comedy material, giving shows like "Louie," "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia," and "Wilfred" a home.
